If you're trying sardines for the first time, or you just really want to learn to like them, here are a few tips and a few
recipes to stoke your sardine love:

For the uninitiated, a good place to start is with a boneless, skinless variety. They come packed in water or olive oil.
They're mild, and can be used in recipes in place of canned tuna fish.
Sardines also come smoked, and come packed in sauces like tomato and mustard-give one of these a try. Smear them on a cracker
or piece of toast for a snack or light lunch.
For veteran sardine eaters, the sky's the limit! Sardines with bones and skin are delicious, too, and they look awesome on
top of a salad or platter. P.S. The bones and skin are both edible. Those tiny bones deliver calcium too!

Greek Salad With
Sardines The fresh, tangy elements of a Greek salad-tomato, cucumber, feta, olives and lemony vinaigrette-pair
well with rich-tasting sardines. Look for sardines with skin and bones (which are edible) as they have more than four times
the amount of calcium as skinless, boneless sardines. If you're lucky enough to have fresh sardines available in your
supermarket, try them in place of the canned sardines. Lightly dredge them in salt-and-pepper-seasoned flour and saut‚ them
in a little olive oil.

Spring Salad with Tarragon Vinaigrette A bold, layered salad that showcases sardines
and asparagus, this beautiful dish adds variety to your weekday dining. If you prefer tuna to sardines or have fish from the
night before, go ahead and use that instead.
